Though the girls have moved on the blog continues in order to preserve and honour the memories of the greatest bunch of young people to have ever played the game (IMHO!). It is aimed at players past and present, as well as anyone else interested in women's rugby who might be trying to make sense of what on earth is going on, even if that meant going to an unofficial and uncensored source of speculation, debate and discussion about the game.

It has no official connection with any girls' or women's teams currently representing Letchworth GC RUFC is NOT an official website within the meaning of RFU Regulation 5.

Nothing may be happening on the field other than the grass growing, but behind the scenes things are ticking along.

First - there is a slight chance (and at this stage it is slight, but not impossible) that you could all be cinema stars - at the Broadway at least. On the off chance I wrote to them to see if The Film could be shown there (or at least a cut down version) in the advert bit before the main feature. And - to my slight surprise actually - they said, in principle, yes it could. It would have to get a certificate from the British Board of Film Classification (anyone care to guess what it might be, considering the high body count?) and converted to actual film first - two not insignificant hurdles - but time to practice those autographs and invest in some dark glasses, maybe?

Also Heather is working away at the fixtures. Some way to go yet, but to give you an idea she has already arranged are games with...

Throw in half a dozen county weekends, about eight regional weekend, plus a tour and its already looking like a season to rival last year for the u18s (certainly a much better balance of home and away), and something rather better than last year for the U15s.

And the final thing is that Katie says that trainng may start earlier as Simon may have a prior engagement on the 19th August - so watch this space. Admittedly there is nothing to stop training that Sunday anyway even if Simon is away - Joe will still be around (and Nim too...).

Oh - and speaking of Katie - can she do the double on the try and tackle of the year (below)? She's leading both at the minute (just) - but have you voted yet? Only one week to go!
